219: Chapter 215 Request 219: Chapter 215 Request The five hundred thousand in the account was undoubtedly less impactful compared to the five hundred thousand in cash laid before him.
Even Chen Hai was momentarily dumbfounded as he watched Buck Teeth Zhu open the small box filled with stacks of cash; it took him quite a while to recover.
“Brother Chen, if we want to play a few rounds in the casino, in a private setting, Brother Zhu and the others would definitely be glad to assist!”
“Treating the casino like an ATM, playing on their turf—that kind of thing breaks the rules.
It’s better to do it as little as possible.”
Hou Donggui sighed and explained to Chen Hai by his side.
He has always enjoyed making connections and prospering peacefully, always avoiding offending people whenever possible.
Years ago, when he first started gambling at the casino, he, too, thought of winning big like Chen Hai.
However, after several casino heavyweights approached him and had a long discussion, he transformed into the casino’s special consultant.
Whenever the casino faced trouble and he happened to be present, the casino bosses often asked for his help.
Of course, his role as a special consultant wasn’t without compensation—the casino definitely paid him generously.
This choice he made was indeed very consistent with his nature.
Given that Chen Hai was now a son-in-law of the Ye Family, the casino bigwigs who knew his background wouldn’t dare to trouble him easily, even if they were unsatisfied.
Hou Donggui’s words were just an attempt to console, nothing more.
After all, in his eyes, having more friends meant more paths open; it was definitely safer to avoid making too many enemies.
“Brother Zhu, you are too kind.
Given my relationship with Brother Hou, I would definitely give face to him since he has asked,” Chen Hai said, nodding slightly after a brief hesitation.
On his cultivation journey, Hou Donggui had greatly assisted him.
Even without these five hundred thousand, as long as Hou Donggui made a suggestion, Chen Hai had no reason to refuse.
“Mr.
Chen, I have already prepared rooms for you and your companions in the hotel.”
“My subordinate told me that you came directly to Sunny Day after passing through Haizhu.”
“Having played in the casino all day, you must be tired.
Should I arrange some girls to come over to help you relax and quench your fire?”
Seeing Chen Hai nod, Buck Teeth Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, as the son-in-law of the Ye Family, his power was quite intimidating.
In Hao River area, he indeed flourished significantly, with many people in the underworld referring to him as the godfather of this era.
Reaching his level of influence, he was certainly not someone ignorant to the wider world.
He clearly understood the enormous gap between him, a godfather of the underworld, and the Ye Family!
Although Hao River region wasn’t yet returned to Yanhuang Country and wasn’t under their jurisdiction, it would only take another five or six years.
Not to mention the future, even now, the Ye Family had enough power to easily throw him, the godfather, into an abyss.
If Chen Hai was unwilling to stop and wanted to continue gambling in his casino,
Unless Buck Teeth Zhu no longer wanted to operate in Hao River, he really had no way to handle him!
“Brother Zhu, calling a couple of girls for my two subordinates to relax is fine.”
“As for me, I’d rather not,” said Chen Hai with a light smile, politely declining.
“Of course, with your status, Young Master Chen, how could ordinary beauties capture your discerning eye?”
Buck Teeth Zhu chuckled and added, “Besides casinos, there are many other entertainment spots in Hao River.”
“If you need anything, don’t be shy; I’ll take care of all your general entertainment needs!”
His demeanor was very respectful, and he switched from addressing Chen Hai as Mr.
Chen to Young Master Chen.
It seemed he was also a clever person, intending to build a closer relationship with Chen Hai.
“Forget it, I’m indeed quite tired after coming all the way from Capital City.”
“I’ll chat with Brother Hou for a bit and then head back to rest in the hotel room.”
“I still need to stay in Hao River for a few more days; if I need anything, I will definitely trouble you, Brother Zhu!” Chen Hai said with a light-hearted smile.
Being with Ye Qingqing, he truly wanted to be strong and independent, not wanting to be seen as a man living off a woman!
But now, coming to Hao River to try to make some money, it seemed he was once again benefiting from Ye Qingqing’s influence.
Having a girlfriend with a very powerful background had its downside; inadvertently, he started to rely heavily on that connection.
Like now, with Buck Teeth Zhu, if he weren’t the son-in-law of the Ye Family, Zhu might still have respectfully given him money to dismiss him.
However, he definitely wouldn’t be as obsequiously disposed as he was now in front of him.
Regarding this, Chen Hai felt rather mixed emotions.
Inside VIP Room No.6, after chatting for a while and exchanging contact details…
Chen Hai, along with Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian waiting outside, returned to the hotel room arranged by Buck Teeth Zhu.
With the eight hundred thousand he had won in the casino plus the five hundred thousand given by Buck Teeth Zhu, the two amounts together now totaled one million three hundred thousand.
When he had just started Tao Cultivation, earning a few thousand yuan had made Chen Hai so happy that he wanted to jump for joy.
But now, only a few months had passed.
Having over a million in his hands seemed to be just that, he did not feel particularly wealthy.
The room arranged by Buck Teeth Zhu was for three people, with three separate rooms.
Chen Hai stayed in a deluxe suite, while Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian only had ordinary single rooms.
After a tiring journey, Chen Hai was indeed a bit fatigued.
Whether Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian ended up sleeping alone or with others was not his concern.
Lying on the big bed in the suite, it didn’t take long for Chen Hai to fall into a deep sleep.
The next day, after waking up and having a hearty meal,
Chen Hai took Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian to other casinos around Hao River, making a couple of rounds.
However, the results were somewhat disappointing.
No sooner had they stepped into a casino, than the casino managers hurried out to meet them.
In Hao River, a small area, almost all casinos were invariably linked to the Gambling King, the He family.
Usually, they did not show up directly but controlled the whole industry from behind the scenes.
The gambling skills displayed by Chen Hai, along with his background, had perhaps already become known to every casino in Hao River without his own knowledge.
Seeing Chen Hai arrive, these casino managers were both persuasively advising him and giving him money!
The amount of money they offered wasn’t much, ranging from thirty to fifty thousand in smaller casinos to one hundred and eighty thousand in larger ones.
Only having visited a part of the casinos in Hao River, yet after making this round, Chen Hai had accumulated an additional seven to eight hundred thousand yuan.
Just a modern-era college student wanting to play a few gambling games turned out like collecting protection fees; he was truly helpless about it.
Faced with his situation, Chen Hai had to abandon his thoughts of making money in the casinos.
After all, with them giving money and speaking kindly, with such a humble attitude, he really couldn’t bring himself to win money from their casinos.
Eating gourmet food or shopping, while initially fun, tired Chen Hai in less than a day.
Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian, on the other hand, enjoyed themselves, mainly because they were attracted to beautiful women.
Bai Xiaohang, a playboy, naturally had a penchant for beautiful women.
As for Tian Mingjian, he was a bit reserved at first.
But under Bai Xiaohang’s repeated encouragement, after experiencing the joy of being surrounded by beauty multiple times, he was quickly corrupted by capitalism.
Of course, financially, Chen Hai did not treat them poorly!
Following Chen Hai around, they both received nearly a hundred thousand yuan scatteredly.
After the hope of making a big profit at the casinos fell through, they stayed in Hao River for three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, just as Chen Hai was preparing to head home, Buck Teeth Zhu arrived with a woman entirely shrouded in a black veil.
“Brother Zhu, who is this…” After inviting Buck Teeth Zhu and the woman beside him into the room,
Chen Hai looked up and down at the woman, whose face was completely obscured, and asked with curiosity,
“Young Master Chen, this is my girlfriend, Miaomiao.
Her condition is quite severe.”
“I’ve heard about your abilities from Master Hou.
Please, could you help me check what exactly is wrong with Miaomiao?” Buck Teeth Zhu requested with a long sigh, his face troubled.
“Brother Hou should be very skilled in healing!”
“Brother Zhu, why don’t you ask him to check on your girlfriend?” Chen Hai asked, frowning slightly.
“Before coming here, Master Hou had already checked on Miaomiao.”
“When it comes to healing, Master Hou is indeed impressive, but Miaomiao’s case is a bit special.”
“Even Master Hou, after examining her condition, couldn’t figure out the root cause and was completely helpless with Miaomiao’s situation!”
With a bitter face, Buck Teeth Zhu added, “Honestly, the reason I brought Miaomiao to you, Young Master Chen, was also based on Master Hou’s advice…”
“This Brother Hou, always creating problems for me when there’s no need!”
Feeling slightly discontent, Chen Hai muttered.
Hou Donggui was indeed warm-hearted, always intending to do good.
Chen Hai had long understood his character.
Since Buck Teeth Zhu had come to him at the behest of Hou Donggui, Chen Hai had to give him some face.
Standing up, Chen Hai walked several circles around Buck Teeth Zhu’s girlfriend, Miaomiao.
“How strange!
Brother Zhu, your girlfriend is clearly a living person, but why do I sense a faint demon qi coming from her?”
Frowning and remaining silent for a moment, Chen Hai curiously asked Buck Teeth Zhu.
“Young Master Chen, since you can sense the demon qi on my girlfriend Miaomiao, you must surely have a way to deal with it!”
While pleading with Chen Hai, Buck Teeth Zhu also instructed his girlfriend, “Miaomiao, take off your veil so Chen Hai can better assess what’s really going on with you.”
